upgrade
Output Kubernetes configs to upgrade an existing Linkerd control plane.
Note that the default flag values for this command come from the Linkerd control plane. The default values displayed in the Flags section below only apply to the install command.
The upgrade can be configured by using the –set, –values, –set-string and –set-file flags. A full list of configurable values can be found at https://www.github.com/linkerd/linkerd2/tree/main/charts/linkerd2/README.md
Examples
# Default upgrade - also removes linkerd resources that no longer exist in the current version
linkerd upgrade | kubectl apply --prune -l linkerd.io/control-plane-ns=linkerd -f -
# Then run this again to make sure that certain cluster-scoped resources are correctly pruned
linkerd upgrade | kubectl apply --prune -l linkerd.io/control-plane-ns=linkerd \
--prune-whitelist=rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1/clusterrole \
--prune-whitelist=rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1/clusterrolebinding \
--prune-whitelist=apiregistration.k8s.io/v1/apiservice -f -
# Similar to install, upgrade may also be broken up into two stages, by user

Subcommands
Upgrade supports subcommands as part of the Multi-stage install feature.
config

Note that this command should be followed by “linkerd upgrade control-plane”.
The upgrade can be configured by using the –set, –values, –set-string and –set-file flags. A full list of configurable values can be found at https://www.github.com/linkerd/linkerd2/tree/main/charts/linkerd2/README.md
